I've been using Boeshield on the cast iron suspension parts as well on some of the stamped metal. Seems to work pretty good - no rust on those parts yet, but they haven't left the garage yet either.

Thanks Hans. I heard great things about Boeshield. However I was thinking of possibly applying a satin clear coat to most of the metal parts. I will continie to research before I decide for certain. If I don't clear coat Boeshield is a major contender at this point.

My 6 cylinder drive shaft was about 10 inches back from the yoke, but the original in the photo starts further back and the spacing on stripes is totally different. I am wondering if the spacing matters or if there was several variations that were followed

There were many variations - applying the stripes to a spinning driveshaft wasn't a "precision" operation.

So I take it when restoring a drive shaft it does not make a lot of difference where the stripes go, for the most part. However it does appear that there was specific color coding based on models.

I used the Evaporust in a 5" PVC tube method to clean up my drive shaft and was amazed at the results. I soaked it for 2 days and rinsed with scotch-brite pad. Thanks CRG members. Finished pictures & before. George.

Indeed. Looks fantastic. Now I'm gonna have to try this! One of the last components I still need to restore before putting the whole car back together.

Did you consider not scrubbing the area with the paint stripes? Were the paint stripes still legible after the soaking with evaporust?
